Bloomberg Philanthropies(@BloombergDotOrg):What starts with paint can lead to lasting change. Through our #AsphaltArt Initiative, @KansasCity transformed a dangerous intersection with temporary murals and street redesigns. After average traffic speeds dropped by 45% and the percentage of pedestrians who felt safe tripled, the city made the temporary redesign permanent - showing how creative ideas can become lasting solutions for safer streets.
